Shannon added: "Country music is three chords and the truth after all. I remember when writing 'Someone to Drink With' I was angry at myself, in a way, for feeling lonely in such a vibrant city such as London, but sometimes those feeling can't be helped.

"The song isn't producing a hate or dislike for the city, but instead it tells us that loneliness is always there, but we don't always have to feel it. That's the way we work."

And on her ambitions for the song, Shannon explained: "I would love this song to stand out as a true country ballad, as in my personal taste, those are my favourite kinds of songs.

"It's actually one of my favourite songs that I've written, so the excitement of releasing it is ten-folds.

"I feel and hope everyone can connect with it, whether you're sitting in a pub alone or waiting for your other half to come home from work, every now and then you're missing someone and all you want is someone to drink with."

With an upcoming gig in Manchester in April 2019, Shannon revealed that she's planning to perform more frequently in her home region of North Wales next year.

Country music fans who pre-order the new single on iTunes will get the song immediately upon release on Thursday December 20.
